what is meant by 'exist'?we are not able to take a look in the planksecond -1, so we don't know wether it exists or not.
Existing is for us something if it is [able to be] in interaction with us. Extreme example: In case a sun would not be interactive with the matter of your body then you could be in the middle of the center of this sun and nothing would happen. Such a sun is not existing in categories of physics. So if a planksecond -1 should exist then there should be a way how we can see what this planksecond was doing or what had happened there. The problem: If we don't find it we don't know wether it is existing or not. In analogy: Do we know that the nothing is existing or not? A nothing should not be nothing, isn't it, because the word "nothing" is something. "Nothing" is one of the most difficult words. Also the word "not" is very difficult. If someone says "not this" then he speaks about everything excluding this - but no one knows everything. The words "not" and "nothing" give us often a wrong impression about our abilities how to think in the best possible way.
